Draft Notes
Maledon is a nice open court player and rangy athlete. He’s kind of long-strider but also has burst and short area quickness. His first step and ability to get downhill and find angles to the basket is impressive. He’s got touch around the rim and a nice array of one-foot floaters and runners.
At 6-5 he’s got ideal combo guard size. His jumper is compact and smooth and shows promise.
He needs to get stronger but his half court defense is solid and he’s a pesky on the ball defender who projects as a high level defender at the NBA level.
Has a lot of untapped potential and upside.
